PGY-1 to PGY-5 (Clinical otolaryngology)
The first year (PGY-1) is spent completing rotations in general surgery, neurosurgery, anesthesia, critical care, emergency medicine, and otorhinolaryngology at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) and Pennsylvania Hospital (PAH).
The four years of clinical otolaryngology training (PGY-2 to PGY-5) are designed to offer each resident an equivalent experience. Rotations take place at Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP), Pennsylvania Hospital (PAH), Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), the Philadelphia Veterans Medical Center (VAMC), and Penn Presbyterian Medical Center (PPMC). In addition, the PGY-4 residents have a 5 month research rotation.
Further, all aspects of adult and pediatric otolaryngology-head and neck surgery are taught and practiced so as to provide for a well-rounded program. Experience throughout the otolaryngology portion of the training program is progressive with increasing clinical and surgical responsibility. Each resident within the program has his or her final rotation at each institution in the capacity of chief resident of the service.
